图 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXI Student Members Chosen for Group to Handle Tickets LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1933 Activity Book Question Come Before Newly Appointed Committee Student members of the activity committee which will take over the problem of settling the dispute over violation of the activity book rules, were appointed today by the two Student Associates of the two political parties. It was decided yesterday that the books taken over by the athletic department during the Thanksgiving day football game would be returned to the owners, and that a committee would have penalty to be placed on the violators. The resolution to form this committee which will take charge of all matters concerning the activity books was recently passed by both of the student governing bodies and will be valid ten days after complete resolution has been published in the University Daily Kansan. Henry Werner today sent word to both councils to set a date for a meeting of the committee as soon as possible after the bill comes into effect, so that it can be approved and then imprinted and so that work can begin immediately for settling the question. Members on the committee consist of Kurt Riesen, president of the men's Student Council; George Soukr and James Christy, representatives on the council; Richard Nelson, representative of the Pachacamac political party; and a representative of the Oread-Kayahawk party who has not yet been elected. Lilian Kellenberger of WS G.A.; Loberta Brabant, Marjorie Nelson, Virginia Rufi, and Helen Russell, are to be the representatives of W.S G.A. Faculty members of the committee are Henry Werner, chairman; Raymond Nichols, secretary; Beulah Morrison, Ozwin Rutledge, Dean Agnes Husband, Karl Llooz, and Dr. F. C. Allen. William A. Chapple, 135, who has a replevin case filed in the court of Justice of the Peace Charles A. Springer concerning the activity ticket question, said today that he did not know exactly how the decision of the committee yesterday would affect his case, but that if his deposits with the court were refunded and his book returned without any loss of credit hours, the logical thing to do was to discontinue the action. However in the event of a loss of credits, Chapple said he would pro- The ticket is now in Chappie's possession under a bond of $5 and he has deposited $5 with Justice Springer for court costs.

Graves, journalism instructor at the University of Kansas, addressed a meeting of the Lincoln, Neb., advertising club Monday. Graves Speaks to Advertisers 'Basic English,' a Language of Root Words, Springing Into Prominence Editor's Note—"Basic English" has leaped into prominence in this country since Commissar Littivn used it in a trans-Atlantic telephone with his wife. It's a "language" consisting of two words—about 850 — of the complex English tongue. It's designed as a sor of easy medium of conversation for all nationalities. So popular has the study of basic English become in Washington that the Congressional Library cannot meet demands for reference works. Just to give the "man-in-the-street" an idea of what the new language is all about here's a story about basic English written in basic English. By Frederick C. Othman United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, D. C., Dec. 13—(UP)—The writing of this story is in basic English, the new language of 850 teachers, approval of many leaders in education. If it sounds clumsy in the writing that is because of the scarcity of words in the language. Basic English uses many words to tell the same idea that Professor C.K. Ogden of London is the inventor of the language. He is of the belief that it will be in use soon in all countries of the earth. Mme. Maxim Litivinov, the woman the Soviet commiseris was married to, in approval of the language. H. G. Wells, the British story teller, is in approval. Many other leading men are in approval. They are in the belief that basic Ensure help unto the earth and keep in a palace. The language is simple. It is put together of six kinds of words: Operators, natural substances, necessary names, common things, collectives. Operators are words like come, get, give, keep, let, make, put, and be. Natural substances are words like toothbrush, chalk, coal, copper 'ork and cotton. Necessary names are words like act.

Dill, c34; deputy grand master, Benjamin M. GcGuire, c36; secretary, Walter C. Everly, c37; treasurer, Walt E. Aberon, c34; hustler, Weather Wester and sergeant at arms. Jack Adams, c37. The installing officer was H. Roe Barte, national president of Kansas City, Mo. He was assisted by George H. Charro, national honorary member and legal counselor, and Walter Everly, also a national honorary member, also of Kansas City. A student recital will be presented tomorrow in the Administration auditorium at 3:30 p.m. The program will consist of piano, voice, flute, and cello numbers. STUDENT RECITAL TO INCLUDE PIANO, FLUTE, CELLO NUMBERS The piano numbers include "Elegic" (Yourof) and "Aarabese on Form d'Stude" (Leschetziky) by Ruth Stockwell, wa37; "Intermezzo, op. 117, No. 1" (Brahms, and "Etude Op. 64, No. 3" (Moszkowski) by Charles Sloan, fa35, and "Nocturne in C Minor" and "Etude, Op. 10, No. 5" (by both Chopin) presented by Harold Dolgenow, fa36.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Dec. 13—The Iowa State Cyclones defeated Coe University 27 to 22, in a non-conference basketball game here last night. It was the second game in two days for the Cyclones who lost to the University of Iowa at Iowa City Monday night to 12 to 30. Iowa State Defeats Coe Common things are words like angle, arch, arm, baby, bag, ball and basket Collectives are words like approval basket, brass, bread, care, cloth and comfort. addition, adjustment, agreement amount and animal. Qualifiers are words like able, angry, awake, black, boiling, bright and broken. The language is to tell general ideas. It is not to tell specific things and so has to be used to describe foods (for instance) in this way: A white root that makes the eyes water (onion). A sweet red root, used as food (beet). A green-yellow berry with hair on the skin (gooseberry). A green plant food with a round head (cabbage). A cake rolled thin and cooked two times (cracker). The language is lacking in grace. It is easy to learn. Professor Ogden Mine, Littivin, Wells and they who think the same way are of the belief that its lack of grace is not so important as its importance now to the earth. In a few years they are of the belief that it will be more useful. Christmas Seal Drive Swings Into Fifth Day L. Wray Choate and William Robb, who have had charge of the distribution of the seals, ask that the house president turn in the proceeds to the College business office some time before tomorrow evening. Tuberculosis Campaigners Mobilize Organized Facilities for providing loans to farmers of the ninth Federal Land Bank District in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, will be completed after the dinner. Chancellor Lindley will speak to the Kansas Association of Icemen this evening at 7 at the Hotel Eldridge. Tomorrow night he will be a guest at a dinner of the Farm Credit Administration at the Hotel Lassen in Wichita. The fifth day of the sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals at the University finds practically all of the social fraternities and sororites, as well as many professional organizations and private rooming houses, canvassed by the solicitors. "The success of the Christmas Seal sale at the University will assure continuation, on a larger scale, of the tuberculosis survey started by the University Health Service last fall and limited by lack of funds," said Dr. R. I. Canuteson today in emphasizing the direct importance of the campaign to the student body. Houses It is the intention of the solicitors to reach every house containing two or more students. Students who will not be reached in this manner may purchase seats at the table in the rotunda of the building or build at Wakkins hospital. Iowa University Executive to Head Carnegie Teaching Movement Foundation Elects Jessup Kansas to Play Washburn Dr. Walter A. Jessup, president of the University of Iowa since 1916, has been elected to head the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching. As president of the foundation Dr. Jessup will supervise the handling of a teachers' annuity system and will direct studies of educational problems of American and Canadian colleges and universities. President Jesup said he had informed the members of the state board of his appointment and had asked for release from his duties at the Iowa University May 1, 1934. He said, "It is with mingled feelings that I announce my resignation at Iowa and my acceptance of the presidency of the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching." CHANCELLOR WILL SPEAK AT ICE MEN'S CONVENTION Dr. Jessup with President L. D. Coffman, of Minnesota University, and Chancellor E. H. Lindley make up a trio that has been going down to the gulf of Mexico frequently to catch tarpon. A non-conference basketball game with Washburn college at Topeka Feb. 3 was scheduled today by F. D. C. Alen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas. This makes seventeen games for Kansas State. The next 1933-34 season. The next home game is the conference tilt with Kansas State Jan. 20. Jayhawks Defeat K-State, 27 to 13 as Season Opens Ragged Play Characterises Work of Both Teams in Non-Conference Tilt Presenting a rather ragged scoring attack and evincing a lack of polish that is characteristic of all pre-season basketball games, the Kansas Jayhawkers found the Kansas State to college Willcocks and won handily by a score of 17 to 2. Never after the first minute of play in which Blaise, Aggie guard, scored the first goal of the game, was the contest in doubt, although the count was knotted at 8-aall a little later. Kansas led at the half, 11 to 8. The victory was the third straight for the Kansans in the last two seasons over the Aggies to whom the Jayhawkers lost two pre-season games last year. They defeated them 36 to 24 and 32 to 18 in the regular Big Six games later, how- NUMBER 60 Passing Attack Functions Only the passing attack of the Jayhawkers functioned last night. The scorers worked the ball in frequently only to find themselves off-balance. They often exhibited a disturbing indecision in choosing what course to follow. Passing Attack Functions The Aggie attack was weak and unimpressive. Although Coach Frank Root's boys possessed speed and energy and handled the ball well, they were, nevertheless, unable to turn their several chances into scores. A sturdy Kansas defense coupled with an almost careless air of abandon on their own part forced the Aggies to resort to long shots which they missed continually. Only Weller, a forward who lettered at Manhattan in 1931-32 but who did not return last year, was able to connect with any regularity. He scored four of his team's five goals. Wells is Kansas High, and Dick Wells, Kansas center, and Weller, hungers with eight points each. Wells scored two field goals and four free throw goals. The starting Kansas quintet was an all-letterman combination, but Dr. F. C. Allen substituted freely as the game progressed. In all, 15 Kansas players and 13 Aggents got into the contest. At one time an entirely new team was substituted for the Wildcats. The supposed Boyd and Steiner did not start the games. One of the best performances of the evening was turned in by Ray Ebbing, a sophomore substitute forward from Lindsborg. Ebbing played a bang-up game and contributed three successive field goals. Blaine Throws First Goal Blaine, Aggie guard, opened the scoring thirty seconds after the initial whistle, but Gray's free throw and Curt's goal gave the Kansans a lead which they held. Blaine Throws First Goal All of the Kansas starters with the exception of Vanek scored. Gordon Gaund, connected with two goals from Burton and Curd scored one goal each.

This discovery was made by Dr Francis G. Benedict and Cornelius Benedict of the Boston nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie Institution in Washington when they tried to find out how energy expended is merely hinking. Hard working professors and congressmen may find from the nutty meat of the peanut an agreeable "brain" food, and a stimulus for mental activity. They may well become peanut patrons, and they may well allow low peanut to a height of eminence. The friendless goober has been used as a culture study only recently. Its uses are found to vary from common roasted and salted nuts to elaborate mock meat dishes. We are even told that the peanut is not a nut, but a pea. The reason for this is that the "double-jointed peanut with a personality," promises to become a dignified member of the farm family and a most popular food for the brain.

Christmas Vesper Service to Be Held Sunday Afternoon University Annual Musical Program Has Drawn Large Attendance in Past Years The annual All-Musical Christmas vespers with the tableaux, arranged each year by the School of Fine Arts, is to be given next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the University auditorium. The University Christmas vespers have gained such rewnorth for their artistic value and past辉煌 as the largest audience to attend any indoor University attraction has been present. Last year every available seat in the large auditorium, seating 4000 people, was taken. A vested choir of 77 picked voices will be featured in a candle-light processional and recessional, as well as in separate choral numbers. Other musical groups will consist of the University string quartet; harp, violin, and organ; harp, piano and organ; and violin, two cellos, harp and organ, playing numbers especially suited to the Christmas service. Three Tableax to Be Given Three Tableaux to be A smaller stage will be erected in the center of the large auditorium stage on which a sculpture will be placed of design and drawing and painting will stage their tableaux, depicting scenes appropriate to the occasion. The pictures chosen this year to be given are "The Annunciation," "The Vision of the Shepherds," and "The Adoration." Special scenery is being painted by Professor Eastwood of the painting department who is also in charge of the lighting effects. Professors Bloch and Mattern are in charge of grouping the pictures, while Miss Rosemary Ketchen, head of the department of design, is in charge of costumes. The vesper choir, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swartsholt, will present the "Christmas Choralogue," a new work of striking beauty by W. B. Olds, director of music at Redlands University, which is just off the press. The work is arranged for eight-part a capella chorus, with the assistance of a narrator, who from time to time recites the Christmas story, while the choir hums a beautiful vocal background to the words. Rev. Carter Harrison to Be Narrator The Rev. Carter Harrison of the Trinity Episcopal church will act as narrator, and Irene Peabody of the fine arts faculty will sing the solo part in the "Magnificat," which occurs in the early part of the "Choraleur." The work is divided into three distinct episodes, "The Annunciation," "The Vision of the Shepherds," and "The Visit of the Magi." Interpersed with the narrator's story and the humming chorus come frequent old Christmas carols of rare beauty. While in California this past summer, Dean D. M. Swarthout visited Professor Olds, composer of the work, and went over with him the proof of the work. He recognized it as a piece of exceptional beauty, one that seemed as if expressly written for the University of Kansas vesper service. Its performance here will be one of the first performances in the country. In order to shorten the length of the service, two children will be used for the lighting of the candles at the opening of the service. Seba Eldridge Jr., son of Professor and Mrs. Seba Eliar, will last year and the year before and Edwin Badin, of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Bodine, will be used this year.
